Rome is probably the most interesting and vibrant city in the world. It is a city where the rich past is still very much alive and visible in everyday life. Awesome sights such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon and the Vatican with the newly restored Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo really take your breath away and you really need at least 3 nights in Rome to explore and appreciate all the city has to offer. The romans are justly proud of their cuisine and no trip to Rome would be complete unless you experience an authentic Italian meal at a pavement trattoria followed by tiramisu and cappuccino... heaven! It is no wonder then that Rome is referred to as the 'Eternal City'. One way to ensure that you do return to Rome very soon is to throw three coins over your left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain ....... see you there soon! ,As capital of the Roman Empire, the Papal States and Italy, Rome truly is the "Eternal City".
